To be fair, a lot of the “isn’t supposed to work” stuff in MyHouse.wad isn’t really new to Doom. It’s not like the author invented some astonishing new techniques. It’s just that the presentation is incredibly well done.
Like, room over room stuff was more or less figured out as soon as people started using the Build engine. It was just a matter of time until this stuff was available in Doom. My guess is that it’s been possible for at least 20 years.
